Topic: Pride Displays Sith Set (Read 1820 times)

So who is planning on ordering this when it comes available? I am going to order at least on of them, perhaps two. Even at the pricetag of $60 or whatever, it seems worth it to me to have a good environment to display figures.

$60 is waaaay too much for me... Especially when it's a haphazard hodgepodge of ROTS "environments" more than anything else. The displays are incredibly simplistic overall actually, as far as buying plastic bits and pieces goes. If it were $20 I'd consider it, but at $60 it's way overpriced to me considering there's not much to it in the grand scheme of things...

I've not been really into the Pride Displays since they started coming out. I think there's better ways to do displays than that... Modular environments in particular, but that doesn't seem to be a route anyone is going to go. May be bordering too closely to playsets over displays, and treading on Hasbro turf.

I'll be passing . . . I agree with Jesse price point is not what I want to pay for these. That and combined with the small lava scene on something that seems mainly on Coruscant, I just don't like it. I can understand though why some may want it though.

Well remember that the lave section is removable. You don't have to leave it there. There are also removable Kashyyyk and Utapau ground bases too that come with it.

Buying this to me is a no brainer, because while I could make my own version of this (which I've tried several attemps at) but making different height levels like this just seems way too difficult for me. So rather than experiment with foamcore over and over or styrene, and spend who knows how much (and a lot of hours and frustration) on something I want, I'll buck up and pay for it in this case. I don't like the first one they offered of ANH, but to me this is a great setup for displaying some prequel figures.

$60.00 is very high (no argument there), but I believe it also comes with about 50 stands for figures too. So to me this is a great display for the Chancellor's office plus I'll get more stands for some Battle Droids. I'd like to get two of them, one to have a bunch of senators on display and another with Windu fighting Palpatine.

I can't wait to get at least one of these. I think once people start seeing other collectors with some of them with dioramas set up with them, a few people might change their minds some. I've seen that happen before... I've actually wanted to commission Owen D. to make something similar to this, but he's so busy with other projects. I'm passing on most of the rehashed vehicles this year so this will fit into my budget nicely.

That is really neat looking. I have to say, I would buy one if the price range was anywhere the reasonable zone. I like the simple design; very nice. CHEWIE, where can I see the other pieces you mention coming with it??

This display definitely has more potential now that I've seen the second set of backgrounds. There's no doubt I'd enjoy displaying some of my favourite ROTS figures on it. But I just can't convince myself at $60, like so many others have said. Which sucks, because they've got a great looking product.

Yeah I think the backdrop piece is just outstanding... I might go to Kinko's and see if they can scan a few copies of it for me. It's really cool looking.

The price tag is crazy though like everyone has said. I would think that if Hasbro put this out in the $20-$25 range, and made 1-2 for each movie they could do really well... especially if they threw an exclusive figure in each one...

I would agree with you on that Chewie. That Hasbro could make bucks especially if they put in an exclusive. Imagine one with Utapau that comes with exclusive Commander Cody? I love this now that I see that the mutiple backgrouns are available. They look outstanding. If it wasn't $60 and if it wasn't a year with so much coming out, I would do this. I may change my mind and buy one anyway. . . . we'll see how the budget goes.
